What recent reviews say

Most customers come away impressed by the matcha and coffee quality, especially given the prices. Owner Lim's genuine warmth and willingness to teach the matcha-making process set this cafe apart; many reviewers mention learning something new or feeling personally welcomed. The space is small but deliberately cosy with good music, though parking requires a short walk from the main lot.

Service varies slightly: most staff are patient and friendly, but a handful of reports mention inconsistency. Matcha taste can drift between visits, with some finding it perfectly smooth and umami-rich while others occasionally taste only milk. These are rare exceptions in a mostly devoted customer base.

Common questions

Can I learn how matcha is made here?
Yes. Owner Lim regularly shows customers the matcha-making process and explains matcha origins and flavour profiles to help them choose.
What kind of parking is available?
Street parking on the surrounding roads; expect to park about 50m away and walk. Parking tickets required; bring a valid payment method.
Does the cafe have a study-friendly space?
Yes. Small tables, air conditioning, and soothing background music make it suitable for reading or laptop work, though the intimate size means it's quieter for one or two people rather than groups.

Long-time regulars prize the authentic Sarawak laksa and traditional coffee here, finding prices fair and the vintage space welcoming. Recent visitors report the owners enforce strict seating rules and have spoken harshly to staff, which soured what should have been straightforward neighbourhood meals.

Five-star reviews praise the matcha drinks, particularly the limited-edition matcha daifuku, and note a fairly clean, modern space suitable for a quick stop. However, a pattern of rude, inattentive staff dominates lower ratings, with multiple customers reporting dismissive counter behaviour, slow order taking, and long waits when understaffed. A critical gap for a study cafe: no wifi, forcing remote workers to rely on hotspot. Service swings wildly depending on who is working and how busy delivery orders are. Toilet facilities lack privacy and basic amenities. While the drinks themselves score points for taste and value, the experience feels inconsistent and sometimes uncomfortable."

Daily Coffee draws consistent praise for its welcoming atmosphere, quick breakfast service, and hearty portions at fair prices. Coffee quality earns particular note from regulars. However, longer wait times for desserts and inconsistent execution on mains, combined with occasional service lapses, temper the experience for some.
